Did you change over to 15" rims, and are you also running factory size rubber? If not, what size tires are you running and how's the clearance? Paul

tom s, I love the look of the caps. When my '65 is done, I want to do a '63 and that is the look that I want to shoot for. Very nice.

64 bonne convertible
hi guys,here goes trying to send better pics of my car. I`m barely computer literate but if I try often enough, I`ll eventually get it right. I bought my convertible off a used lot in Ft.Wayne IN in 1971. originally a 389 with a 4sp hydramatic, it now has a (1969) 428 and a turbo 400. this winter`s project is finding ways to make it handle better with radial tires. I think a larger sway bar and faster steering might be helpful. thanx for the interest.

I've found the following to work well, -Addco large front sway bar, no rear bar needed. -AGR 12 to 1 steering box with new rag joint from Ames. Bleed the AGR steering box WITHOUT the pitman arm connected, turn it lock to lock about 200-300 times to bleed all the air out. -Scarebird front Disc brake conversion. http://www.scarebird.com/7009.html -225/70-15 Firestone Firehawk 500 tires on 15" rims of your choice. Firestone also makes a great V rated tire called the Firehawk P-V tire thats used on Police cars. http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/details...ountry=US&shop I used vintage Americans but there are many well made new rims out there like the Radir, American, E-T ect. -Replace the ball joints with Moog or Rare units. -Replace the idler arm with a Moog or Rare unit. -Upper and lower control arm bushings with Moog or Rare rubber joints. -Bilstine shocks but the rear shocks will need heavier studs pressed in. -Align the car at 0 to 1 degree positive caster, 1/32 toe in and 0 to 1/2 degree negitive camber. Good luck, thats a great looking car! Last edited by PITTSBURGH 64; 04-25-2007 at 02:41 PM. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
